Studded Race Tires for 2024 - order now!

[Mike]

For all those that are looking for some studded race tires for the Fire on Ice season please let me know what you need. The order deadline is Nov 27th. At that time I will be placing a bulk order of stud hardware and tires and will build them in time for the 2024 season. The tires and hardware are the same as the previous year utilizing GoodRide RP26 tires of either 14" or 15" (13" tires have been discontinued). Many of us are running the same tires for a 3rd race season! Having said that, especially for the drive tires the stud "sharpness" has rounded off a bit and safe to say may not be considered 100% compared to a new built tire. 

I have heard from one club member that successfully swapped out the bolts in a used tire for new hardware however with this process I cannot guarantee that the seal of each interior washer is not compromised. Try this if you want but buyer beware. If you choose to re-stud your tires yourself be aware that they will be tech inspected to ensure compliance with the maximum stud length requirement. If you want to run new studs my recommendation is to run your used tires in the back with new built tires up front and then have a couple used spares. The used tires seem to remain very competitive so the choice is yours. 

Due to the tire shaving process I strongly recommend the proven GoodRide tires that we have been buying however if you have different tires (new only) that you want shaved and built please contact me to discuss getting them built.

Costs: 

Fully built, shaved and studded tire = $200 per tire

Fully built, shaved and studded (tire purchase excluded) = $125 per tire

DIY studded tire hardware package (sealant & lock-tight excluded) = $75 per tire

Hope to see ya on the ice!
